How much has Dr. B's office charged you for a phone consult?

[Hopeny]

My niece lives out of the country and has no U.S. insurance. Her mother had a phone consult, maybe 15 minutes, and was charged what I would consider to be exorbitant, the same amount as the initial non insurance office consult when she went in person. I am a big fan of Dr B but was very concerned by bill. Would like to hear what others pay for phone consult?

Happy to share the amount by PM.

Phone consults are 500/hour, which is the general standars rate for most specialists. i have 15 minute consults every 4 weeks and pay 125.00.

Thank you, they were sent a bill for 500 and it was a portion of an hour. They must have made a mistake
